The Treaty was signed by United States Secretary Of State Daniel Webster and United Kingdom Privy Counsellor Alexander Baring, Lord Ashburton . This treaty marked the end of unofficial fighting (known informally as the Aroostook Or Lumberjack's War ) along the Maine - New Brunswick border and resolved issues that had led to the Indian Stream Conflict as well as the Caroline Affair . The border was fixed with the disputed territory divided among the two nations. Also, as a result of this treaty, portions of the western U.S.-Canada border were adjusted so as to be consistent. It gave the U.S. negligibly more land to the north; gold was later discovered on this land. The Creole Case was passed over by both nations. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
